- Master screen-based movement commands
- Learn efficient navigation in large files
- Develop muscle memory for page movements
Required Keystrokes
This lesson requires you to use specific keystrokes to complete it. Your submission will be evaluated based on whether you used the required keystrokes mentioned below, rather than matching a specific output.
\<C-f\>
Use Ctrl+f to page forward
\<C-b\>
Use Ctrl+b to page backward
What This Means
- Your solution must include the required keystroke patterns
- The order of keystrokes may matter depending on the exercise
- You'll still need to achieve the expected output
- This helps you practice specific Vim techniques
Helpful commands:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+f | Move forward one screen |
| Ctrl+b | Move backward one screen |
| Ctrl+d | Move down half screen |
| Ctrl+u | Move up half screen |
| Ctrl+e | Scroll down one line |
| Ctrl+y | Scroll up one line |
Hints
- Ctrl+f = forward full screen (like Page Down)
- Ctrl+b = backward full screen (like Page Up)
- Ctrl+d/u are gentler, moving only half a screen
